Frankel, Felice C.
This collection of videos teaches how to use a flatbed scanner to create photographs of science and engineering. It is part of the interdisciplinary course taught at MIT called &ldquo;Visual Strategies for Scientists and Engineers&rdquo; that provides instruction in best practices for creating more effective graphics and photographs to support and communicate research in science and engineering.About the InstructorFelice Frankel is an award-winning science photographer and research scientist in the Center for Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Felice's images have been internationally published in books, journals, and magazines, including the New York Times, Nature, Science, National Geographic, and Discover. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and has received awards and grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Alfred P. Sloan and Guggenheim Foundation, and others.AcknowledgementsThe production of these videos is supported by Open Courseware, MITx, the Center for Materials Science and Engineering and the following departments: Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

RES.12-001 Topics in Fluid Dynamics: Dimensional Analysis, the Coriolis force, and Lagrangian and Eulerian Representations, Fall 2004
Price, James F.
This collection of three essays was developed from the author's experience teaching Fluid Dynamics of the Atmosphere and Ocean, 12.800, offered to graduate students entering the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography. The goal of this course is to help each student master the concepts and mathematical tools that make up the foundation of classical and geophysical fluid dynamics. Three topics --- the subject of these essays --- proved to be the most difficult for most students: 1) dimensional analysis, 2) the Coriolis force and 3) Lagrangian and Eulerian representations. These essays treat these topics in considerably greater depth than a comprehensive fluids textbook can afford, and they are accompanied by data files (MATLAB&reg; and Fortan) that allows some application and experimentation. They should be suitable for self study. Technical RequirementsSpecial software is required to use some of the files in this course: .m, .fortran.

Bonvillian, William
The careers of MIT scientists and engineers are significantly determined by public policy decisions made in Washington by the government. However, their access to information on how this system works is limited. Meanwhile, we increasingly understand that science and technology-based innovation is deeply connected to society's economic growth and its ability to generate societal wellbeing, so the public role of science is growing. This course will examine the public policy behind and the government's role in the science and technology innovation system. Given the challenges to future federal science support, this seminar will aim to equip those planning careers in and around science and technology with a basic background for involvement in science policymaking. This course is offered during MIT's Independent Activities Period (IAP), which is a special 4-week term at MIT that runs from the first week of January until the end of the month. It features student-led discussion incorporated into the course structure as well as opportunities to interact with MIT students and faculty involved in aspects of science policy. The course has been offered since 2006 and has developed as a collaborative effort between the instructor and MIT students from the Science Policy Initiative.

RES.TTL-01 Guidelines on Learning that Inform Teaching, Fall 2009
Breslow, Lori
This handbook includes 16 Guidelines on Learning based on the research literature on student learning and accepted good teaching practice, that inform the teaching at MIT. Each Guideline is explained with appropriate quotes and there are links to examples of the guideline in action. The handbook was adapted by The MIT Teaching and Learning Laboratory from the &quot;Guidelines on Learning that inform teaching at the University of New South Wales&quot; and it's associated Toolkit. This has now been expanded as a generic &quot;Guidelines on Learning that inform teaching&quot; website with exemplar examples and written in a format to encourage other universities to draft their own set of guidelines and examples.
